Hi doctor . I am having pain in my buttock that started 2 weeks back pain radiates to till my calf and numbness in foot . At start of this pain I feel a cramp in my calf and I squat that relieved my pain . I went to a doctor my slr was positive at 30 degree . Doctr suggested me to take Celebrex and acetaminophen codeine both twice a day. Celebrex for 5 days only and rest for 2 weeks and to avoid lifting . For first five days I was feeling much better. When I stopped taking Celebrex it came up again. I am 26 yrs old male

Hello.Celecoxib is a more potent painkiller that acetaminphen.Also Celecoxib has no gastric side effects.In my opinion celecoxib can be taken for more than 5 days for treating your pain. Please consult your local doctor for a prescription.
I wish you good health.
